paul krugman, spain. madrid! >> he's on the sides of buses. >> on the sides of buses in madrid. >> what's going on there? >> 25% unemployment, as you know. 55% youth unemployment. >> yeah, can you explain that? because you said in the past, your books did much better in the u.s. than europe. >> so interesting. >> but in europe and japan right now -- >> part of the answer is we messed up pretty badly on economic policy. they messed up even worse in europe. so we have at least had -- we haven't had the kind of fiscal stimulus. we haven't had the kind of pro-employment policies i want here, but we haven't had the kind of destructive austerity policies that they've had in europe. so i think what i say has got a lot of resonance there because they've seen what happens when people energetically do the opposite of what i say you should be doing and you see what happens. >> take us through europe. give us a tour of europe by numbers, spain, great britain, france. >> austerity. >> great britain -- britain is in a way the

steve rattner, this time yesterday we had paul krugman on the show. you actually said in an e-mail talking about your concerns krugman suggested we don't have to worry about long term debt so much, deficits, long term debt number 5, maybe number 6 on the list. you took exception to it and said denying the coming debt was like being a climate change denier. >> i think actually mika started that analogy and paul krugman basically said the opposite. to me, being a debt denier is the same thing as being a climate change denier. we're putting tons of carbon in our atmosphere we have to deal with and incurring billions of debt everyday we have to deal with. they're the same problems. do you recognize they're problems and deal with them or sit and let them fester until something bad happens. >> what do you say about what paul krugman says, it's a problem but it won't be a problem until 20 years from now and let's not deal with the problem. >> in the order of magnitude we know the problem will be worse. about 60 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities. the l

pulitzer prize winning economist paul krugman said president obama should absolutely mint the coin if republicans try to force america into default. klugman also said that john boehner's face should bonn the coin because without him, the coin wouldn't be needed. meanwhile, republicans have been lying to americans on the debt ceiling for weeks, and now the fox news misinformation machine in high gear, hitting the platinum coin issue. neil cavuto put up this misleading graphic during his show on thursday. it claimed the coin would weigh 17,000 tons, about the weight of 89 blue whales and be the size of a nuclear submarine? well, the graphic is all wrong. the coin can be any size and be given any denomination. this is just the latest example of republican misinformation on the debt ceiling. mitch mcconnell was wrong when he claimed president obama wanted to raise the debt ceiling so he could spend more money. john cornyn was wrong when he said shutting down the government over the debt ceiling would be good for the country. and now neil cavuto's graphic is joining the club in the fratern
